Sosaia Feki could make his long-awaited Castleford debut in their Challenge Cup clash with Hull FC.
The winger, a major off-season signing from Cronulla, has yet to play due to calf and hamstring injuries. But he has been named in the Tigers squad for Sunday’s rearranged sixth-round tie, with Jake Trueman and Cheyse Blair, who has been missing with a back injury, also in the squad.
Alex Foster, Junior Moors and Gareth O’Brien, who is cup-tied, drop out.

Josh Bowden, Masi Matongo, Lewis Bienek, Cameron Scott, Connor Wynne, Charlie Patterson-Lund, Ben McNamara and Jude Ferreira miss out.
